| Recommendations for fast sounding cables See if you can find a pair of Amadi interconnects for your pre/pwr connection. They show up used every once in a while. I have them as a "fast" or "silver" reference when I think my regular AQ Columbia’s are veiling something.Don’t take my word fo... | |
| good discussion on power cords I understand the tendency to compare the audiophile life with the religious life. Both are essentially solitary lives. They're spent contemplating the most abstract art form (music) by constantly swinging from the euphoria of music-driven emotion ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Well said joecasey.The skeptics (deaf luddites) that can’t hear cables have only one argument now: price! They immediately cite two choices--$4 Radio Shack interconnects or $10000 MIT’s. Or worse. If these disabled folks would spend ANYTHING ($100... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My cat! | |
| Help Match Cables To Gear Please Sure am glad I missed all that trolling yesterday.Re: cables.Buy a well reviewed brand so you can check the opinions of freaks you know--or at least can check their past opinions for consistency. AQ, MIT, Shunyata, Synergistic, Nordost, etc. Assem... | |
| Jazz for aficionados (removed) Wow. I'm relatively new here and was looking forward to a good jazz room where we could trade notes on new music and new masterings of old stuff.Doesn't this thread offer a new start? | |
| Streaming: WiFi or wired?? I'll second larry's notion on CAT6. I have a new Node2i that I started with wifi. The setup was a challenge. For networking reasons, I moved my router from another floor to the stereo cabinet in my lair. When I hooked up the provided ethernet cab... | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery I wonder how many working musicians cannot actually read or write music? Are they really musicians? Of course they are--they're just limited or "challenged." Maybe not very successful.Contrary to some of the "music first" arguments often seen here... | |
| Are these fake? At that price, here's hoping someone takes the bait so we can find out the sources of these fakes. They might be really good units but some seller decided to slap the Furutech moniker on them--that's the crime.I recently bought a desk lamp from Am... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? This'll probably stir up a fuss: audiophiles are music freaks who have developed a facility for listening to the sound character of the intervening electronic components--when they choose to. | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers We should start a chat listing one thing each of us has owned (ever!) that is NOT audio and that might be considered extravagant by the rest of us. Let's get judgmental. Sorry, I'm just afraid to admit that if I had a 750K windfall, I would probab... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No doubt for me: Crystal Silence - Burton & Corea | |
| preamp choices under $1K ? I would haunt the used gear ads. Looks to me like this pandemic is starting to squeeze some of us who've suddenly found ourselves over-leveraged. To coin a phrase.I just saw an Audio Research SP-11 go on eBay for under $800.You'd have to be lookin... | |
| Cleaning power with tweaks. Try a daisy chain of Richard Gray power cubes. Add them as you can.Seems to me you’re in the dome of noise. Try anything that will lower the noise. It all does something but you may not know how much because a worse sounding connection is covering... | |
| New Preamplifier If I were the factory, I'd just stick those guys on everything that comes off the line, no matter where it's going--especially if it's a mass market item. Kinda like the imitation mountain men out here in the Rockies with their touristy stickers a... |
